In memory of those lost December 18, 1867
"Here are the mangled and unrecognized dead, the victims of a catastrophe, such as rarely occurs in all the moving accidents by flood, or field, or fire, which are constantly brought to our notice in every day's report. Here are mothers who cannot identify their children -- who only know that among this mass of charred and broken bodies are the mortal remains of loved ones whom they shall see no more, until at the Resurrection morning."
- Rev. John Chase Lord, pastor, Central Presbyterian Church, Buffalo. December 1867.
